2006 HCSDB Adult Sampling Report - Tricare

2006 HEALTH CARE SURVEY OF DOD BENEFICIARIESƒ The weighted count of sampled records for SVCCDƒ The number of frame records for SVCCDƒ The frequency of sampled records for each enrollment beneficiary group (EBG_COM)ƒ The weighted count of sampled records for EBG_COMƒ The number of frame records for EBG_COMThe sample counts after selection must be the same as the predetermined sample sizes for eachstratum. Also, the weighted sample counts must be the same as the population counts for eachstratum. For analytic domains such as SVCCD and EBG_COM, sample count distributions werechecked against the corresponding population distributions to ensure that no operational errorsoccurred and that the sample appeared to be reasonably balanced. Because the sampling ratesused in the selection process varied, the weighted distributions do not exactly match the populationdistributions.After completing the sample checks, we attached the data elements that will be used in the surveymailing and operations to each record in the sample extract file. The file was then sent toSynovate. All variables in the sample extract file are specified in Appendix E.03/14/06 17
